Default Brake Booster

So I have a bad booster in my 90 Si and I am trying to replace it, it seems to be a pretty straight forward swap, but I can't manage to get one of the bolts out, its the upper drivers side bolt, anyone have any tricks or tips to get this bugger out? We spent a good 2 hours trying to get to it, and no luck.

Please help!!!

I'll have to try again, but I can't hardly put my hand on the nut holding it in... Did you remove anything to get easier access?

And all you took out was 4 nuts and the Booster slides out the front of the car correct?

Just pulled one for someone at the junkyard...it was pretty easy I used a long extension and a swivil there are 4 bolts a little trick to get to but you can and then there is alos a pin with a coter(SP?) pin that connects to the brake pedal, pull out the coter pin first just so you don't forget to, I just tried to bend the it straight and then used a vice grips and pulled it out, then just slide the metal pin out and take the 4 nuts off and pull the booster out
